God Works Through Us

God works through us and among us lives
 when we share gifts that the Spirit gives.
Though diff'rent skills may to each belong,
 like notes combined we make a new song.

(R)
We will work side by side
 and see our faith applied
letting the Spirit guide
 all that we do.

We plant the seed and we tend the earth,
 but God gives life and attends its birth.
The loaf we break and the cup we share
 remind us of the new life we bear.  (R)

Christ lays foundations on which we build;
 Our efforts joined create hopes fulfilled.
Not walls that separate soul from soul,
 but life in harmony is our goal. (R)

Our ties are stronger than what divides;
 in peace our common intent abides. 
We're called to forge a community;
 in Christ we find a new unity. (R)
